“The peasant who cast his vote on July 31, created my victory and thus made a portion of my Presidency. I am at his service, l am his emissary and servant. He or she did not cast that precious vote in vain, did not repose it in us without expectations of a good, deserved return. “Similarly, the unemployed youth who cast his vote did so amidst great expectations. He, too, moulded my Presidency. “He, too, claims it. It must work for him. It must deliver a reward to him. The woman — that larger half of mankind voted for me — a man! She has deep hopes that must be fulfilled. "The businessperson, he or she too, voted for me, contributing a limb to my Presidency. He or she too has definite expectations founded on his or her role in society as a creator of wealth. “The farmer — small, medium, big — voted for my party thereby assigning my Presidency. His vote was his input, he must now turn the soil, broadcast seed in the hope of plenty. I am the instrument of his dream. The self-employed, that small man and woman always struggling on the margins of the formal economy, he or she, too, has expectations, great expectations at that. "So, too, are those who did not vote for me, those who voted for other parties. They have hopes and expectations which must reside and repose in my Presidency.”
